→The first paragraph should not mention Common Lisp: new section |

Line 194:
The header needs to focus more on Scheme exclusively. [[Special:Contributions/137.124.161.12|137.124.161.12]] ([[User talk:137.124.161.12|talk]]) 02:30, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
:I think it's quite natural that the first paragraph does mention Common Lisp, if only to emphasize the minimalist philosophy behind Scheme's design and contrast it with the "everything and the kitchen sink" philosophy underlying the design of Common Lisp (which explicity tried to merge the features of the various dialects of (Mac)Lisp). However, I agree that the concrete wording of the first paragraph seems uneven.
:The first paragraph {{oldid|Scheme (programming language)|701085086|currently has this to say}}:
::'''Scheme''' and [[Common Lisp]] are the two principal [[Programming language dialect|dialect]]s of the [[Programming language|computer programming language]] [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]]. Unlike Common Lisp, Scheme follows a [[Minimalism (computing)|minimalist]] design philosophy that specifies a small standard core accompanied by powerful tools for language extension.
:It used to read {{oldid|Scheme (programming language)|637554029|like this}}:
::'''Scheme''' is a [[functional programming]] language and one of the two main [[programming language dialect|dialects]] of the programming language [[Lisp programming language|Lisp]]. Unlike [[Common Lisp]], the other main dialect, Scheme follows a [[Minimalism (computing)|minimalist]] design philosophy specifying a small standard core with powerful tools for language extension.
:Even though both versions offer the same content, I think I prefer the older version. —[[User:Tobias Bergemann|Tobias Bergemann]] ([[User talk:Tobias Bergemann|talk]]) 08:40, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
